How do you get your CP to be throughly mixed but without bubbles?
The instructions say not to shake it and I follow the directions but then I'm not really sure that it is adequately mixed.
When I do ignore the instructions and "shake away," it comes out with many, many bubbles.
Thank you.

I stand the bottle upside down for a few minutes and then repeat

If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

Charles -
What you cite is one reason I moved to Cason's Crystal ...... no mixing (not shaken or stirred)

BIg deal bubbles in CP - fully saturate the threads with CPbubbles, wick the brush, go back over and wick off teh excess CP. THe bubbles won't be tehre if you wick the excess off.

Chuck the bottle in your rod dryer chuck by the cap. Let turn a few minutes. Mixes perfectly.

I do like Billy....then use a little bit of heat
bubbles gone.
When I am mixing i dont worry about bubbles,I make sure that its measured and mixed
up really good.

You can put some in a small jar say baby food size and just rotate it in circles like a centerfuge. go slow and steady. Iso have to agree with others though I don't worry about them much anymore I just blow them out with a straw after the wetoit.

Roll it along the floor several times - mixed

Mike, you apply heat to CP? I never worry about bubbles. I shake it like a cheap bottle of Champagne and wick off the excess. Its not thick like epoxy so the bubbles burst real easy.

I switched to carson's. I don't like the flexcoat kind anymore! Plus I like the smell of carson's. LOL

Fred,I will have to apologize to you and the board!
I miss read the post.I was thinking epoxy,not CP.
I dont have a bubble problem with CP so I read bubbles and assumed epoxy.
I also use carsons and flexcoat.
sorry guys!!

Some CP.s don't like heat.If you do be gentle with it.

I really like the idea of chucking up that Chromaseal bottle. Great idea. Thank you. I hate have to use a mixing stick and I was using the brush to stir but that causes other issues with gunk on the ferrules of the brush. (I buy god brushes and clean them and re-use them)
